1. BRUNO NICOLAI LA DAMA ROSSA UCCIDE SETTE VOLTE

    With its blood letting, (often Sapphic) eroticism and gothic horror, La Dama Rossa Uccide Sette Volte is representative of the Giallo film genre.

    Giallo film scores can stray close to Eurovision geegaw: they can be camp, clownish, mawkishly overblown and the like, but they can, more often than not, hit the beauty point.

    This is true of Bruno Nicolai’s soundtrack to La Dama Rossa Uccide Sette Volte.

    A close friend and collaborator of Ennio Morricone, Nicolai churned out some of the finest moments of Italian film soundtrack. This album is up there. It really is worth a listen.

    For the observant, Barbara Bouchet starred in both La Dama Rossa and Valeria Dentro e Fuori. Bouchet is worth a post herself.

    Maybe some other time.
